Was something wrong with his ears? He heard something that sounded very weird!

Li Yue Shan turned to Yun Meng with doubts and saw the latter wearing the same expression as him.

“Wait, what did you just say?” Yun Meng looked at Lin Qiao confusedly as she raised a hand and asked.

Lin Qiao found the look on their faces funny as she spoke, “I have a new pet, and he’s a big guy. He has a huge bunch of great eaters under his command, so I think I’m gonna have problems feeding them all.”

In shock, Yun Meng finally processed her words and then rolled her eyes, “Like you feed Black and the other two… They feed themselves!”

Li Yue Shan opened his mouth slightly, and it took him quite a while to realize what had happened. “Did you… you turn that level-eight thing into a pet of yours?”

Lin Qiao looked at him and said, “What are you doing here? Did Wu Chengyue send you?”

Li Yue Shan instantly responded, “Chief left an hour ago. There’s an important message from Huaxia Base. He should be in your base by now.”

“He was here?” Lin Qiao was surprised.

Both Li Yue Shan and Yun Meng nodded.

“Huaxia Base? I’m heading back too. Oh, Mengmeng, Strong promised me that he won’t bring his people up here without my permission. He’ll talk to me before coming up again. But still, keep an eye on them. I’ve also told Strong that he and his people are only allowed to come up to the surface through the entrance that I just came out of. You can take your people to seal all the other entrances.” Thinking about Huaxia Base, Lin Qiao blinked as she gave Yun Meng an instruction.

“Yes, ma’am!” Yun Meng quickly nodded and responded. She took a glance at the entrance that Lin Qiao came from, then turned and headed toward where her troops were stationed.

Lin Qiao turned to Li Yue Shan and said to him, “Is your job watching me or this area?”

“Chief told me to keep an eye on you,” said Li Yue Shan to her politely.

“Let’s head back then,” Lin Qiao nodded and said.

“Yes, ma’am!” Li Yue Shan nodded.

“Do you have a car?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked, in response of which he shook his head. She then raised an arm and brought a car out of her space.

Li Yue Shan sat into the driver’s seat and started the car. As Lin Qiao got into the car, he finally couldn’t help but ask, “Miss. Lu, how… how did you do it?”

In fact, he wanted more to ask her what she had been through down in the cave.

Lin Qiao sat in the backseat and stretched her body as she said, “Strong is big, but unexpectedly timid. He is smart, though. He knows how to play it by the ear. He couldn’t defeat me, so he ran. He couldn’t run either, so he surrendered. Life will always be better as long as you still have your life, right?”

“So, you beat him up and then he surrendered?” said Li Yue Shan knowingly.

“Last time, your Chief injured him severely, and he hadn’t recovered yet,” said Lin Qiao, “If he didn’t surrender, I might have used his energy to break into a higher level.”

Finally, Li Yue Shan figured the whole thing out. The level-eight underground creature was wounded by his Chief last time and had not healed yet. So, the zombie lady took an opportunity to make him surrender.

That was pretty much how the zombie lady got every one of her pets.

Back in the base, Lin Qiao didn’t return to where she lived, but headed straight to her office in Base Number One.

“So, is this your office now?” Once in, she saw a man before her desk and felt quite speechless.

Wu Chengyue raised his head as he gave her a glance and smiled, “I thought you won’t mind me using it.”

Lin Qiao looked fine and relaxed. Seeing her, Wu Chengyue silently sighed with relief. He had received the news beforehand, but still could not stop worrying until he saw her in person. Now, as he saw her and confirmed that she was really fine, he finally stopped worrying.

Lin Qiao looked around and said, “Isn’t the boy here? Well, right, he doesn’t dare to come back, does he? He’s afraid that I might kick his ass. Where is he now?”

Wu Chengyue stood up from Lin Qiao’s chair and walked up to her with a stack of files. Meanwhile, he said to her smilingly, “He’s at Lin Feng’s place.”

Lin Qiao sat down on the couch and took over the files, “What is this?”

“Something from Huaxia Base,” Wu Chengyue sat in the armchair beside her.

Lin Qiao opened the file and leafed through, then frowned slightly. “Experiment? Again? An experimental base?”

Before going into the underground cave, she heard from Ye Yingyue that Sky Fire Base people might have been kidnapping superpower possessors for a zombie experiment. Now, according to the file provided by Wu Chengyue, Huaxia Base had been doing experiments about some kind of biochemical weapon, and they had built an extra-large experimental base for that.

Why were those two bases so into creating troubles?

Instead of trying to find out how mankind could have a better chance of survival, Sky Fire Base people studied zombies and Huaxia Base was trying to create biochemical weapons. Was the post-apocalyptic world not despairing enough for them? Did they want it to be worse?

“Is Si Kongchen’s brain damaged? Isn’t he worried that human beings might die out because of what he has been doing?” Lin Qiao looked at the file with a frown.

Wu Chengyue looked at her bitter face and laughed, “He’s not worried about that. I guess the only thing he wants is to control all the bases in the world. Also, he’s pretty confident about his technologies.”

While looking at Lin Qiao’s face, what he was thinking about was Lin Qiao’s original face.

Recently, Xiao Licheng had brought him all the background information about Lin Qiao. She was not as pretty as Lu Tianyu, but to be honest, he found her original face very charming.

Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and said, “Control the whole world? I think he should go and see a doctor. He’s brain might not be working.”

His biochemical weapon experiment had not succeeded yet. He wasn’t even able to control the two-million people in Huaxia Base, not to mention the other bases in the country, and the rest of the world…

“As far as I know, Si Kongchen had sent quite some special warriors to the rest of Asia, Africa, and Europe, a few years ago. Recently, he’s preparing to send his people into South America,” said Wu Chengyue.

Lin Qiao gave a cold smile as she snorted and said, “Then? I know that. Clearly, he sent people out undercover to collect information. How could that be easy? I’m afraid he has lost contact with some of them since long ago.”

She had known about that. The leaders of almost all bases in the country knew about that, they just didn’t care much.

How could that ever be easy? Ruling the whole world? Did he think he was God? How on earth could he control the entire planet?

Not to mention the fact that the world was no longer ruled by mankind solely. Currently, the world belonged to zombies, mutated animals and plants, and the people who had superpowers.
